Villa Palm Bay, Terres Basses

This sleek contemporary villa is perfect for individuals seeking serene privacy, yet walking distance to the beach. Set in a palm filled garden, the elegant lines of the house draw you to the calming view. Green tropical foliage edged with the sapphire rim of the sea creates a peaceful atmosphere. This is a space to relax with a book or glass of champagne and totally forget the world. While great for small families and groups of friends, it's perfect for honeymoon couples. It has an intimate and romantic feel.

The clean modern design of the house perfectly blends the open plan interior onto the generous outdoor spaces filled with dining and lounging spaces. Travertine tiles visually connect the spaces. Elegant, inviting designer furniture, used inside and outside, has a Euro style in soothing taupe, off white and grey with touches of vibrant colour. The interior spaces have ample seating for enjoying the entertainment features of the house as well as indoor dining. A well-appointed kitchen pairs beautifully with the flow of the house. In deep aubergine, steel and grey granite, the kitchen opens to both the exterior and interior spaces connecting the chef with the guests. Covered, multilevel terraces create opportunities to change the scene. On the main level is the large fiber optic pool which delights with ever changing colours at night. Or perhaps enjoy the outdoor pool table for a bit of sport. For really spectacular views, head up to the roof top living space for a spectacular perch to watch the view from sunrise to sunset. A hot tub provides a tranquil spot for detoxing from stress.

The five bedrooms, with hardwood floors, are equal size, have air condition and flat screen TVs with Apple TV plus en suite bathrooms. Each has private seating on covered terraces. One bedroom is off the main villa; two are in a separate casita. The spa bathrooms are fabulously oversized with indoor and outdoor showers opening to private garden views.

** Can be rented as a 3-4 or 5 bedroom villa.

The Lowlands are the location of some spectacular beaches: Baie Longue and Baie aux Prunes (Long Beach and Plum Beach) are secluded, have public parking, but no services. Neither beach is ever crowded. Baie Rouge is set amongst some dramatic red cliffs. The elegant homes in Terres Basses are sitting on generous lots, most of them with gorgeous views of either the Lagoon or the ocean, or both. Many villas can be rented on a weekly basis as the ultimate vacation-get-a-way. By car its about 10 minutes away from Marigot, and 15 minutes away from the Airport.
